It’s been a while since we featured some teddy bears.
So, it’s definitely time to get some teddy bear ideas on the stove, so to speak. Although they may not be the most innovative idea, the sheer timeless beauty of them is motivation enough. After all, who of us has not played with one of these wonderful, cuddly creatures at some point of our lives? Indeed, we all have, and here are some variations to bring back some of that adorable magic back into the fold. Better still, with Christmas in the offing, a handmade, crocheted teddy will be THE perfect gift for a child, particularly one who is small enough to appreciate everything, or one old enough to appreciate true worth.
Mr Teddy Bear
To begin with, here is a teddy that’s simple to make from basic shapes, and then you put it together almost seamlessly. In fact, seams apply to only the final, decorative bits. Thus, you make the entirety of the bear itself as one whole. Moreover, this is a hefty toy, sure to be appreciated and cuddled.

Classic Crochet Teddy Bear
Next, this absolute classic will be a hit with anyone who wishes to relive some of their childhood nostalgia. In contrast to the previous one, this bear is made of separate parts, then stuffed and stitched. Overall, if there is one theme here, it’s the triumvirate of customize, accessorize and cuddle.

Oliver the Bear
Oliver the Bear is a chilly-weather-ready polar teddy bear with a wonderful scarf and an adorable tummy. This bear has an elongated shape, perfect for fitting down the side of a backpack or in a deeper pocket. The pattern itself is not too difficult, so it won’t tax your crocheting skills too much if you have more than one kid in need of a portable teddy. Of course, you can also make this teddy as a present for a loved one, such as a get-well gift or simply for yourself as well.

Lying Bear
Does a bear lie down in the woods? Why yes, and in your home as well. This cute little lazybones looks like he just ate a whole barrel of “hunny” and now needs to rest, just a little bit, until he can move again. This bear is an easy amigurumi pattern with a pear-shaped main body and stitched-on limbs and accessories. It’s a great little project for using up yarn ends that seem to accumulate all the time. Like the other patterns here, this shape too lends itself well to travel.

Toy Bear
Bears come in many shapes, colors, and styles. Since we are exploring uncommonly shaped teddies today, how about a bear-inspired ami stuffie? You can make them and then love them and hug them and squeeze them and call them George 😉 As you can see, this narrow, elongated shape is also great in terms of portability. It’s particularly good if you have a bunch of them and a small ball basket or container to carry them in.
